Hey BAR, Looks great, Vary fast Germ on that skunk and nice and GREEN!
Tons of good info on Soil, compost etc. I end up paying so much for soil due to the place I live at, because I live nowhere near a place that sells more than 4-6 kinds of soil, mostly all miracle grow kinds (so for the good stuff its like $35-$40 for 1 cubic foot + shipping lol) So water was definitely a good move for me
As always everyone have a great day!

I've been searching the web for places to get free compost here in the city to no avail M1. I know it's out there but I'm not finding it. If any of you are good at that type of thing maybe you can find it for me. It would be appreciated.
Also what's the difference between compost & mulch?
We still have room for a few more questions for tonight so please Pm me anything grow related you would like answered or discussed.

Hey BAR go check out Lady Vadalon's Grow, there as been a discussion in there about using ONA gel and the use of it being bad for your plants. I left a method my friend uses with that stuff on her page but maybe go over the types of Oder control us growers have at our disposal 
Pretty sure I will be at work during the reps are right so I hope its a little more involved then that last time, I will try to make it back
Good luck everyone, Its a great time to get those questions answered!

The difference between compost and mulch is:
Compost is the biologically active material that results from decomposition of organic matter under controlled circumstances.
Mulch is any material, organic or inorganic, that is spread over garden soil to cover it.
in other words if you have mulch its ready to use, to make a compost it has to sit and decompose
Mulch can include but is not limited to wood chips, grass clippings, leaves, straw. Most organic mulches consist of fairly large particles, although compost can also be used as an organic mulch.
As far as finding some free only thing I can think of is take a trip out to A popular farm, I've found one of the best ways to start off your soil is with Horse shit even over cow shit because it has more carbon discharge. Leave in a bin for 6-12 months to age, add wood ashes and other manure (like rabbit poop) 1/2 way through if desired. This is a simple compost and I'm sure the farm will serperate with some shit for you LOL!

Thanxx M1. For those of you who remember my Weeping Willow Tree hunt through Central Park where I got my Willow branches from this tree...
And made my Willow Water from, here's what became of the left over branches. They rooted. It took approximately 20 days...
Now that I've succeeded in rooting something I'm ready to try this technique on cannabis and retire from THE DEAD CLONE SOCIETY.

I also heard some stories about aloe vera being used as a natural cloning gel, but I never tried it myself as I clone stuff very rarely.
Yep you did it with the willow so you will be a success with Ganja I will be made up for ya

If you decide to plant those willow trees, do it by a body of fresh water. They need a tremendous amount of water to survive. That's why you see them by lakes or streams in nature. They have been known to have their roots penetrate heavy iron and lead water pipes in search of water. Voracious root system.
On making compost, I like horse manure also, but the only problem I've had in the past is if the compost does not get hot enough, the weed seeds do not get killed. When cows eat, they have multiple stomachs and the process of chewing their cud mashes the seeds then goes through stomachs one after the other and the digestive process renders the weed seeds non-viable.
There are a few different types of compost, just to take this further. Biological and fungal. Fungal compost is where you find mycorrhizae and other fungal threads like actinomycetes, the white stringy stuff in the compost. Could look powdery as well. This compost is excellent for trees and plants which are enhanced by mycorrhizae. Not all plants utilize it the same way.
Bacterial compost is made using manures. In the manures are the bacteria necessary to break down the organic matter into smaller particles and humates. This type of pile gets very, very hot if turned and kept moist properly. If you use this type of compost too soon, the ammonia in the urine will kill. That needs to be fully finished before using it, but fungal compost is somewhat more forgiving and I like it better, to be honest.
The compost I use does have turkey manure in it, but not the primary source of nitrogen. Primary source of nitrogen is vegetative matter. The turkey litter is used to accelerate the heating process and finish the material faster, but poultry manures are much cooler than mammals and have nowhere near the harmful bacteria found in mammal manures.
So, that all said, I hope I didn't make it more confusing than it was before. I'm mainly saying this for outdoor growers.

BAR if you retire from the club through this technique, then I will be following your footsteps for sure! I have to get it down before I take any GG#4 clones!

No, it cleared everything up. But as you said, it's generally an outdoor thing. I wouldn't want to bring doo-doo upstairs. LOL...

I'm not sure Tamir. Next time you're downstairs take a close up of the branches. It doesn't seem to be really weeping but if it is you're going to have an unlimited supply of Willow Water.
PS: I think I know where you live. The FDR is close by.
